Emir Frenetic Tobacco Honey
Paris Corner Emir Frenetic Tobacco Honey Eau de Parfum 80ml names its two headline materials on the bottle and then delivers both of them, which is not always how these things go.
Tobacco here is the cured leaf rather than anything lit, dry and sweetish and faintly bitter, and honey sits directly on top of it, thick and waxy with that slightly animal edge the material always carries. The two of them make an immediate pairing, rich and warm, and they set up the whole of the wear within the first minute.
The middle complicates things usefully. Smoke arrives as its own element, dry and sooty rather than acrid, and plum brings a dark, winey fruit that sweetens the composition from a different direction. White tobacco appears alongside the smoke, lighter and cleaner than the leaf at the top, almost powdery by comparison, and it keeps the heart from becoming suffocating.
The base is short and warm. Amber gives a low resinous glow and peach adds a soft fruit sweetness right at the end, which is an unexpected way to finish something this dark. Seven materials, and the composition is dense rather than complicated. It lasts a long time at eau de parfum strength and projects strongly for the first couple of hours, so one spray is usually enough and two is a statement. Cold weather and evenings are its territory, and it suits anyone who likes a fragrance with real weight to it rather than something designed to be inoffensive at a desk.
Emir belongs to Paris Corner, a perfume company working from the Middle East whose catalogue is made up entirely of brands it owns and runs itself, North Stag and Pendora among them.
